Bride To The Island Wolf novel Chapter 4

Freddie sent some men to give hot water and a towel to Avril. He also gave them bottled water and some cakes for the girls to eat.

After the men delivered those things, Chidi helped massage Avril's body. Then they ate the cakes and spread the blankets to lie down. It was actually noon time but they were exhausted and needed that rest.

Avril looked over to the Chinese girl sleeping soundly at the other end of the room. She looked sad even in her sleep. Avril wished she understood Chinese so she could at least talk to her and give her soothing words. She never had friends but she knew what it was like to loose a loved one. That feeling of pain and loneliness.

Avril sighed and looked at the ceiling. Her mind wandered around and she tried to not be worried. After about an hour, she too drifted off to sleep.

When they woke up in the evening, they were taken to the kitchen to cook whatever they wanted. Freddie was really kind to them and they soon got free as the days went by.

The ladies knew they had little hope of going back home soon and they couldn't ask Freddie anything concerning that topic. They were afraid he would go back to being vulgar towards them.

After a week, the ship passed by a deserted island. The captain's plan was to stop but they decided to continue the journey.

Freddie had gone down to make a very important business call regarding Avril. He was going to negotiate the cost for her and he wasn't going to get anything less than a million dollars, just as he had told Paolo.

The ladies had climbed up and stood by the railing, watching the water and looking out for dolphins that occasionally swam out for oxygen. Suddenly, they began to hear men raising their voices.

“is that an argument?” Avril asked

“they must be drunk” Chidi said and they looked back at the blue water.

The argument persisted until the girls were sure it had turned into a fight.

“Ahh men! Can't they just settle things amicably?” Nana said and shook her head.

“I'll go check it out” Avril said and took two steps then she fell.

“oh my God! Are you okay?” Nana asked

Avril stood up immediately.

“this is the second time this week” Avril stated with horror written on her face

“what's the second time this week?” Chidi asked

“that I'm stepping on my foot. When that occurs, then something bad is about to happen to me. This happen six days and just now. It also happened six days before and the day my parents died”

“don't worry. Nothing bad will happen. Come, let's go back inside” Chidi said and held her hand. They began to walk away when suddenly they heard a gunshot and shouts from the men. They screamed and bent down immediately, covering their heads.

“run... Let's go inside!” Nana screamed and they tried to run through a lean way, around the outside of a cabin when the door flung open and two men rushed out with their hands tightly holding each other's collar. Avril was right in front of them and the force in which they pushed themselves out, flung her over the railing and into the water. Her friends screamed and began to cry

“Avril! Help! Help us! Please help us!” they cried. The two idiots who were fighting didn't even realize what they had done. They continued to fight and kick each other.

Avril tried her very best to swim to the surface but it felt like something was holding her legs. Because of her unexpected fall, water entered into her mouth and nose. She had lost her balance in the water and all her swimming tactics had become foreign to her.

“God, please help me” she prayed as she lost control of her consciousness.
